The HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents (or the Panel) is accepting nominations for new scientific/clinical members with expertise in HIV medicine. The Panel is seeking candidates with expertise in HIV clinical research and clinical care, women’s health, or neurologic complications of HIV infection.

Panel members critically evaluate new information and prepare guidelines revisions. The candidates should be recognized experts in their areas of interest. The successful candidates will serve a 4-year term beginning May 2017, with potential for reappointment for an additional term.

The latest guideline was published on July 14, 2016, and can be found at https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/.

Panel members are not financially compensated for their time commitment.
